air shocks are the weight supporting type right because  fox, sway-a-way, and walker evens, makes tem and they are only about $225-260 a piece. I am so excited and i just cant hide it

I have 16" fox's all the way around, they're nice but from what i've recently learnt.. you have air/nitrogen which sets the ride height and you have to put 5w fork oil in them to adjust the dampning of the shock.

I like them even though they havn't been on the trail yet, flex good...
